Hi Michael,

How come when I click on the "Virtual Systems" menu on the left hand side
under "Systems" my virtual Xen guest don't map to an actual physical host in
the table that gets displayed. They all have a light gray parent to child

I didn't have those rpm's installed.  I just installed it on the
RHEL5.1 server host machine.  But my guests subscribe to the
rhn-tools-rhel-x86_64-cli and rhel-x86_64-client-5 channels.
That rhn-virtualization-common doesn't seem to be available in those channels?
